If you’ve been around a while, by now you know that the last day of August is also National South Carolina Day. South Carolina, once a part of Carolina, began as one of the original colonies of the New World. It was at Fort Sumter that the Confederates volleyed the shots heard round the world.

Did you have a “haunted house” in your neighborhood growing up? You know, that house at the edge of the neighborhood that children were afraid of. I know we once did.

Today is National Thoughtful Day – hum, I’m not sure what that means. If it means being thoughtful to others, shouldn’t we at least attempt to be thoughtful every day?

Today is both Just Because Day and Pots de Crème Day. How convenient – the title of this post wrote itself! Yet guess what? We’ve never done a August 27 National Day! That is amazing, considering the choices available. Not only Just Because it’s National Pot de Crème Day, but it’s also Peach Day!

In the greater scheme of things, Hubby and I rarely fight. Kiddo might beg to differ, but he only hears us from his room when voices are raised. When we do fight, it’s brief. Usually our spats begin because one of us was in a foul mood in the first place.

While we will not know what any of the Apostles or earlier followers of Christ actually looked like until we join them in the Kingdom of Heaven, I like this portrail of Saint Bartholomew. His eyes seem kind.

Today is National Ride Like the Wind Day. It also happens to be my 38th Wedding Anniversary. While I’ve never actually jumped from a plane, I would compare it to our marriage. Jumping from a plane requires a great deal of trust as you step into the unknown. So does marriage.

Today is Senior Citizens Day. It is a day set aside to remember the achievements of the more mature among our nation’s citizens. Whenever I see an announcement in the church bulletin about services for seniors, I suggest to Hubby we volunteer to help out. He then reminds me we are the seniors.

Don’t you just love it when a day give you inspiration? I look for inspiration from the moment I open my eyes. Each morning, I like to begin my day with the Sign of the Cross and Holy Water. Then I ask God for just three things. Protect me from Evil. Let me always do Your Will. And inspire me, so that I might inspire others.

Today is National Potato Day. Now what immediately sprang to mind was Potato Soup, but it’s the middle of summer. And I don’t think a cold potato soup would hit the spot ever.

Today is National Ice Cream Pie Day. It’s also Pinot Noir Day and Fajita Day. While not a fan of ice cream pies, Pinot Noir and Fajitas are both themes I can work with. But then something inspiring happened.
